Nick Gilmore has details. Northam said part of the problem can be attributed to mixed messaging from federal officials in the previous administration. “15 days ago, the outgoing federal Secretary of Health told states, ‘Open up eligibility to everyone 65 and older. We’ll send more doses,’" Northam explained. "Then two days later, states learned that there were no more doses to release” He added that Virginia has immunized over 500,000 people in a month – more than actual infections from the virus since the beginning of the pandemic. But, Northam said that’s not enough and the process will be more transparent going forward.
